CIHR Human Immunology Network (CHIN)
The CIHR Human Immunology Network is a Canadian network that will act as a coordinating resource to help individual researchers to optimize resources and to accelerate the pace of their discoveries and its translation into humans. There are 7 participant nodes at universities across the country. As a research network, CHIN will operate as a resource “umbrella” network, facilitating communication between nodes, each with their specialized expertise in human immunology, collaboration and knowledge exchange. The spirit of CHIN is to be inclusive to the interested parties doing research in human immunology and to become an information resource for investigators considering research in human immunology. CHIN will promote and enhance human immunology research in Canada and its international projection, and effectively limit duplication of resources by developing synergies between existing teams.
